Eugène Minkowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugène Minkowski (April 17, 1885 - November 17, 1972) was a French psychiatrist, born in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
During his career, he was associated with both Eugen Bleuler and Ludwig Binswanger.
He was described by R.D Laing as having made "the first serious attempt in psychiatry to reconstruct the other person's lived experience." He is quoted on the first page Laing's classic The Divided Self:
"Je donne une œuvre subjective ici, œuvre cependant qui tend de toutes ses forces vers l'objectivité." (I offer you a subjective work, but a work which nevertheless struggles with all its might towards objectivity. )
